Mizzi Eliminated

Level 8 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Sorel Mizzi opened with a raise to 6,500 from under the gun, and then Jason Les reraised to 16,500 from the next seat. Everyone folded back to Mizzi, and he moved all in for around 45,000. Les called with the {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}, and he had Mizzi's {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} in trouble.

Needing a come-from-behind victory, Mizzi couldn't find it on the {10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{2-Clubs} board. Les collected the pot to send Mizzi to the rail and moved his stack to about 180,000 in chips.

Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey and Tobias Reinkemeier saw the flop of {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} with Ivey first to act. He checked, and then Reinkemeier bet 6,000. Ivey made the call, and the {K-Diamonds} came out on the turn. Ivey checked, and Reinkemeier checked behind.

The river was the {Q-Hearts}, and Ivey checked again. Reinkemeier checked back with the {A-Spades}{6-Spades} for top pair, but that was no good after Ivey turned up the {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} for two pair.
